Book Description

Thomas the Tank Engine meets a robot in this exciting new Thomas & Friends(TM) Little Golden Book! When a technology fair comes to the Island of Sodor, Thomas the Tank Engine is worried that robots and faster trains will replace him. But when thieves try to steal plans for a flying car, Thomas saves the day and proves that steam engines are really useful! Train-loving boys and girls ages 2-5--and Little Golden Book collectors of all ages--will love this exciting new Thomas & Friends(TM) Little Golden Book. In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small blue wooden train engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W Awdry, made up to accompany the wonderful toy were first published in 1945 and became the basis for the Railway Series, a collection of books about Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends--and the rest is history. Thomas & Friends(TM) are now a big extended family of engines and others on the Island of Sodor. They appear not only in books but also in television shows and movies, and as a wide variety of beautifully made toys. The adventures of Thomas and his friends, which are always, ultimately, about friendship, have delighted generations of train-loving boys and girls for more than 70 years and will continue to do so for generations to come.

Movie Robots


Book Description

Caution: This book requires that both, parents and children, work together at least 15 minutes a day on reading texts and assembling some robot pieces (only the printed version). Do you like movies? Do you like robots? This book is a reading book for children from 5 to 80 years old (OK, OK...from 5 to your age). The idea is that every parent and his(her) child spend some few minutes every day practicing reading, explaining the concepts for reading comprehension and learning about robotics. Every book has vocabulary for parents to help children to understand some terms from the world of Robots. Additionally, with very simple tools like glue and scissors, parents and children build the robot's parts, but again it´s recommended to make just one robot part per day. This activity help to build children´s imagination and creativity . It is a wonderful way to develop fine motor skills and something very important nowadays: patience. Some cutting ans folding is a good exercise to help children to figure out geometric figures.Every reading session becomes a fun activity while kids see their own progress in several ways. The more they read the closer they get to have their paper-craft robot as a final reward. Automated printing has limitations and though the desire is to have the paper-craft robot on a sheet with good thickness, we had to use the same paper thickness of the interior pages.
